Being inspired by the garden and a poem...

Hoping to make my daily life a little more like this poem that I read today... trying to appreciate the little things in life:

Each day, upon my daily round,
I find myself on holy ground--
The morning-glories on my fence
Inspire quiet reverence.
Just one small, tender seedling grew,
and now, this miracle in blue.
A robin in the apple tree
Sings out his glad doxology.
I hear the pure, unsullied joy
Of laughter from a little boy;
I bow before the firm belief
And faith of one who lives with grief;
I watch a jet plane skim the skies
And marvel at man's enterprise;
I look upon a field of wheat
And thank God for the bread we eat;
I watch the benedictive rain
On low-bowed heads of flower and grain.
A friend drops in, a neighbor calls,
The lamps are lit, night gently falls;
Contentment settles with the sun
In labors of the day well done.
So many little altars there,
So many simple calls to prayer,
So many reasons for thanksgiving--
The sacraments of daily living.
--Helen Lowrie Marshall

And some photos from Kyle's garden because they go so well with that poem:

It truly has been amazing to see all the things that he's been growing. Although I do not enjoy the tediousness of gardening, I do appreciate seeing things grow and eating the wonderful food! I guess that's the easy part... ;) Thanks for all your hard work Kyle!
